Thanks PB

Hey Sal,

Do you know a specific power decrease that the A/C causes say just under WOT? Thanks

If I remember correctly... WOT disengages the AC compressor.

I stated in my message about being just under WOT. I knew about the disengaging when going WOT.

I can't believe ford hasn't made any nice floor mats for the Lightning.

The weight of the A/C unit itself takes some hp.

Just wondering how much horsepower the A/C takes to run? Even though it shuts it off at WOT I would still like to know.

Does anyone sell floor mats designed for the newer Lightnings that are embroidered with the Lightning logo?

Thanks

I know that on my 98 Z28 it took a lot of power out of it. You could definately feel it. From what I can tell on this truck, it isn't nearly as dramatic an effect, however, it is there nontheless. I'd imagine that there is the potential to lose from 5-10% of the power. Am I way off on these numbers?
